Who we are and what we do
Our mission is to work with creative minds from science and industry to find solutions for the engineering and production of tomorrow. In doing so, we research topics relevant to social, economic and ecological sustainability as well as digital sovereignty. In this way, we want to contribute to positive social development.
We are guided by the major political initiatives such as the European Green Deal, Industry 5.0 or the National Hydrogen Strategy, and derive from them research priorities in which we create added value through digitalization. The results of our work serve as an incubator for subsequent implementation projects and lay the foundation for the industrial processes of tomorrow.
In CONTACT Research, we work on projects that encompass applied research as well as technology and method innovation. Research projects are the most challenging task: they must be conceived and pursued with a long-term perspective, and their technical success is not guaranteed. As an independent corporate unit of the CONTACT Software Group, CONTACT Research provides the ideal framework for meeting these special requirements.

The cornerstones of our strategy enable us to conduct practical research on the issues of the future:
- We identify strategic future potential. This enables us to know which topics will become relevant and create medium- to long-term innovation security - for us and our customers.
- We know the real conditions in industry and take them into account in our research. This leads to shorter innovation cycles with higher utility value for our customers.
- We are committed to investing sustainably in future topics and thus create a future-proof partnership.
- We pursue an open research approach and share industry-relevant knowledge with our research network. This enables us to accelerate the development of future-proof solutions for the automotive industry, mechanical and plant engineering, public infrastructure and other sectors.
